look closely,,,

when you look at me

because sometimes,,,

when i breathless from laughter outside,,,

inside, i'm choked by tears,,,

when i look ready to face the world head-on outside,,,

inside, i'm quivering with fear and doubt,,,

when you see i'm full spirited outside,,,

inside, i'm a lifeless skeleton,,,

see the sign in my eyes,,,

hear them in the sound of my laughter,,,

or even the way i'm holding my cup of coffee,,,

look closely and you will see,,,
